Staff at a local fast food restaurant have raised more than &#xA3;500 for a local school.

Chapel Park Middle School will receive the money from McDonalds on Stamfordham Road in Westerhope.

The store donated &#xA3;1 for every car that passed through its drive-in, and children washed windscreens to raise the cash.

A donation bucket was also organised and children got to guess how many sweets were in a jar. All of the staff took part in the fundraising which will help to provide much needed resources for the school.
